Alex Mikev is an interdisciplinary artist whose conceptual interests include themes related to work as an activity in daily modern life, such as acts of repetitive labor, the meaning of words and images associated with capital production, and broader cultural phenomena such as notions of temporal autonomy and the commodification of time. Mikev uses drawing, video installation art, printmaking, and digital imaging processes to interpret these themes into images: exploring absurdity, beauty, and contradictions within his subjects.
Mikev is currently a Graduate Fellow at University of Wisconsin-Madison, completing the Master of Fine Art program in Studio Art. He has exhibited work at The Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia, Hamiltonian Gallery in Washington D.C., the Indianapolis Arts Center in Indianapolis, IN, Kai Lin Art in Atlanta, GA, and the Salmagundi Art Club in New York. He has also partnered with brands including Costa Coffee and Lexus dealers on large-scale creative commissions.
